Inspiration for a Potting Shed
I hope to use these photos of my aunt's "potting shed" and garden as inspiration for a future miniature project (add it to my growing list of ideas - ha!).
My aunt, an artist, designed the shed and gardens located in her backyard in suburban Detroit. Behind the structure is a walking path. Unfortunately, I didn't take photos of the inside of the shed. It is decorated so beautifully. The back room is the potting area. The room in front contains a few pieces of lovely furniture with whimsical antiques sprinkled throughout.
I could imagine myself spending hours upon hours in this little retreat working on my miniatures. But that's one of the reasons I like to create miniatures; so that I can have a replica of what I can't have in real life!

That is really cute. It would make a wonderful miniature building.
ReplyDeleteThe little 'potting shed' is so sweet and the garden is stunning. I think it would be a great mini project. I am considering something similar, in the design of a two-room fishing shack my Dad built many years ago, no longer standing unfortunately. Hope to see yours as it progresses.
ReplyDeleteThe shed (if you can call something that beautiful shed) is fab! And I love th garden, so nice :)
